Inconsistent validation of usernames between admin-added and public signup

XMLWordPrintable

      As an administrator, try to add a user with a username such as "a+b"

      The new user will be created, but the username is stripped of the plus and so created as "a b"

      Now enable public signup, and create a new user with username "a+b". This will succeed.

      Allowing users with dodgy characters causes issues such as CONF-15920 and CONF-15921. The validation on usernames for public signup should be at least as strict as the administrative add user screen.

      Also, the UI should give a warning message, rather than silently stripping characters.
